But simply removing plymouth is enough to stop it. And run mkinird afterwards, of course.
And continue consuming space and updates bandwidth for what benefit?
Somethings can not be removed easily, because of dependencies.
Not all dependencies are legitimate: # grep RETT /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE Leap 42.2" # rpm -qa | grep release-notes # zypper in release-notes-openSUSE Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... Problem: release-notes-openSUSE-42.2.20161212-3.1.noarch requires google-opensans-fonts, but this requirement cannot be provided uninstallable providers: google-opensans-fonts-1.0-12.2.noarch[OSS] Solution 1: remove lock to allow installation of google-opensans-fonts-1.0-12.2.noarch[OSS] Solution 2: do not install release-notes-openSUSE-42.2.20161212-3.1.noarch Solution 3: break release-notes-openSUSE-42.2.20161212-3.1.noarch by ignoring some of its dependencies release-notes-openSUSE works just fine (does not "break") using the many other installed-by-default fonts: adobe-source*pro.fonts, dejavu-fonts, google-droid-fonts, google-noto-fonts, google-roboto-fonts, noto-sans-fonts, stix-fonts, liberation-fonts and others.
I have not studied what the implications of those "splash" things are. The only one that is bad, as far as I know, is plymouth.
About bandwidth, I no longer care :-p
